Installation
• The subwoofer cannot be used nearby a CRT-
based TV or color monitor. When using this
kind of CRT-based TV or color monitor, install
the subwoofer away from the display device.
Any other device liable to be influenced by
magnetism (floppy disk drive, cassette tape
recorder, video tape player, etc.) should also
be kept at a distance from the subwoofer.
• When moving the subwoofer, avoid touching
the bottom surface, since the speaker unit is
located there.
• Orient the subwoofer’s front face pointing
toward the listening position.
• The subwoofer plays back the bass in
monaural, making use of the fact that the
human ear is not very sensitive to the
direction of low-pitched sound. Because of
this, the subwoofer can be installed almost
anywhere. If it is installed too far away,
however, the sound from the other speakers
may become unnatural.
The degree of bass effect can be adjusted by
moving the unit farther from or closer to the
wall.
Installation precautions
• Do not place heavy or large objects on top of
the speaker. Doing so could provoke the
speaker to fall, causing damages or bodily
injury.
• Do not place the speaker on an unstable
surface, as doing so may cause the speaker
to fall and cause damage or bodily injury.
• Switch off and unplug your AV equipment
and consult the instructions when
connecting up components. Make sure you
use the correct connecting cables.
• Do not sit or stand on the speaker, or let
children play on the speaker. Doing so could
provoke the speaker to fall, causing damages
or bodily injury.
• Install the subwoofer in a well-ventilated
location where it will not be exposed to high
temperatures and high humidity.
• Do not place the subwoofer near stoves or
other heating equipment or at locations
exposed to direct sunlight, as these can have
an adverse effect on the cabinet and internal
components. Also, do not install the unit
where there is too much dust or high
humidity, as these can cause malfunctioning
or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking tables and
other locations where the unit would be
exposed to heat, steam and soot.)
• Keep the subwoofer away from devices such
as cassette decks which are sensitive to
magnetic fields.
• Do not place cups, glasses, or other
containers with fluids on top of the units, since
the units may be damaged if the liquid spills.
• The installation location selected should
have a sturdy floor surface. Mounting the
subwoofer on a long-pile carpet should be
avoided, since the carpet may touch the
driver’s diaphram, causing distorted sound.
• Please install the subwoofer away from the
antenna cable of the receiver, as noise can
be caused with installation close to the
antenna cable. In such a case, use the
subwoofer at a position away from the
antenna and the antenna cable, or when
playback of extra bass is not required, switch
off the power for the subwoofer.
Pioneer is not responsible for any
accidents or damage that result
from improper installation, misuse
or modification of the product, or
natural disasters.
Maintenance of external surfaces:
• Clean the surface by wiping with a soft, dry
cloth.
• When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with
a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser
diluted five or six times with water, and
wrung out well, and then wipe again with a
dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or
cleaners.
• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide
sprays and other chemicals on or near this
unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.
